Naval drones - carriers of heavy bombers: how the GUR special unit "Group 13" fights.
From the destruction of the ships of the opposing side and control of the sea to the elimination of air and ground targets of the Russian forces, the evolution of the Magura naval platforms was described by the commander of the special unit of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine "Group 13" with the call sign thirteen in an exclusive interview with podcast J Klochkocast.
"Our mission was to deal with the [Russian Black Sea] fleet, and it no longer exists as such. More precisely, it exists, but it is hidden deep behind the defense. Therefore, ideas emerged as to what else we could do. I said: "Let's bet on heavy helicopters", we continue to work", said the scout.
The 13th also revealed previously unknown details of Russian IDF losses resulting from the first-ever destruction of two enemy helicopters over the Black Sea in December 2024.
"We destroyed two helicopters. The third one was hit, he was hit, but he managed to get back and sit down. As we heard from the intercepts, the pilots were quite scared, but came back. Each of the two destroyed helicopters had eight people: machine gunners and FPV drone operators. They all died," said the commander of Group 13.
He emphasized that the aggressive state of Russia poses a threat not only to Ukraine. Since the modern war is a war of technologies, the experience of the Ukrainian struggle can be very important for the security of Europe as a whole.
"We cannot postpone preparations for war until tomorrow, because tomorrow may not come, and then it will be too late. I am convinced that we are the army with the greatest combat capability in Europe. And it is important for our partners to learn from us," said the thirteenth.
